You can create a good accent on the eyes in different ways: eyeliner, mascara, pencil, but one of the most popular and win-win is the use of shadows. Eyeshadows are our “basic” cosmetic bag, but sometimes girls make annoying mistakes in applying eye makeup. How to avoid them – more about this below.

You forget about the foundation for the shadows
Common error. There is a belief that this product is needed only by girls with oily skin types. But without the base, the shadows oxidize, fade quickly, and by the end of the day and completely roll. Alternatively, if you do not have a special tool at hand, you can use concealer, powder, or primer.
You choose the shade of shadows exactly according to eye color
This cosmetic myth came to us in the nineties. Then the owners of blue eyes emphasized the native color with bright blue shadows, green-eyed girls generously painted emerald, and brunettes chose only smoky ice. Modern make-up artists advise using shades of contrasting shades. For example, for girls with green eyes suitable shades of a warm palette: sand, peach.
You do not shade the pencil
You need to pay attention to this point. Carelessly applied shades will lie unevenly and create the effect of dirty, untidy makeup. Therefore it is necessary to spend time and after shading to receive pleasant, smooth, not striking transitions between shades. There is a little secret: all the colors need to be pulled up, from the movable eyelid towards the eyebrows. So makeup will not be visually burdensome.
You use brushes that the manufacturer has put in the package
Girls should remember this rule: do not use brushes, applicators, and down jackets that come with the cosmetic product. They need to be replaced immediately. Shadow applicators usually seal the product and do not allow you to take full advantage of all the features of the product.
You do not clean the brushes regularly
If you do not clean the applicators regularly, you are at great risk in terms of hygiene. There is another disadvantage associated with poorly washed brushes. Shadows, especially dark shades, settle on the brushes and give a “dirty” effect when applied.
You apply too much eye shadow
Dark or reddish hues on the lower eyelid give the face a tired look. This should not be overdone. Replace dark shadows with light neutral shades.
You do not know how to use shadows with a shimmer effect
Ever since highlighter has become a must-have product in the makeup bag of every modern girl, many have taken it as a direct guide to action. But the extra shine in the eye area draws attention to the shortcomings. Leave the shimmering to apply dot accents.
Improper use of shades in smokey ice makeup
For full-fledged make-up in this style, one black color is not enough. Beginners due to inexperience use only it, forgetting that for smokey you need to use at least three colors and smoothly move from light to dark.
You use the entire palette that is in your palettes
In order not to become a participant in the Brazilian carnival, do not use contrasting shades. Ideally, you can take 2-3 shades of one palette – so they will combine well and will not “interrupt” each other.
These little tips will help you avoid gross mistakes in eye makeup, from which no girl is insured.
